Mrs. Erminnie smith,, Memor,.l.

ssThe Daughters of the Aesthetics" and
several personal friends of the late Mrs.
Erminnie A. Smith, met at her grave in
New York Bay Cemetery, on the anniver-
sary of her death, which occurred June
9th, 1856. Mrs. Smith has done more than
any other one of the present day for the
young women of New Jersey and New
York in elevating their minds and direct
ing them in the search for the true, noble
and lovely. Connected with the Ethnolog-
ical Bureau of the Smithsonian Institute:
Compiler of Dictionaries of the Indian
language; adopted daughter of the Tusco-
rora Indians; member of the American
Association for the Advancement of Sci
snce; also of the American and British
Archaeological Societies. Mrs. Smith, by
the power of intellect combined with rare
wonanllness, drew around her the talented
ia art, literature and science. The
Daughters" brought plants and flowers
with which to decorate the resting place of
their Mother, nor would they permit other
hands than theirs to transplant these
offerings in the soil which covered her
grave. When the loving task was COM
pleted the plot resembled a parterre of
beauty in form and color. It was decided
to procure two memorial windows to be
placed in the Lafayette Avenue Church,
of which Mrs. Smith was an attendant.
One of those to be provided by her frien DIS
residing in New Jersey; the other by those
living in New York and and Brooklyn.
Committees to carry out this plan were
appointed as follows
For New Jersey-Mrs. E. F. G. Young,
Mrs. J. F. Mccoy, Mrs. Robert Gilchiist.
Mrs. F. J. Mallory, Mrs. Robert G. Lyle,
Mrs. Marcus Beach,
For New York and Brooklyn-Mrs. D.
G. Croly, Mrs. Henry Hermann, Mrs. C.
Lasar Studwell, Mrs. Rossiter Johnston.
Mrs Oliver B. Bunoe, Mrs. Sara L. Saun-
ders.

A curiosity OF Newark Avenue.

There are different ways of doing bust
ness on Newark avenue among all the
trades people. Some throw their goods
away from the roof, some keep great
show OF goods before the entrance so that
it is hard to look inside, some rate them
selves as popular stores" but, in often
running up aud down the street, and look
ing into the shops, we never did see a
more sensible class of buyers than in H. B.
Russell's store, 118 Newark avenue, be-
cause they go there to buy what they
want and generally know if they cant get
it there, they can't get it any where else in

Hoboken, with all her faults, turns out
the most n'que specimen of womanly
self-sacrihce the history oflate years re-
yeals. Four or five Sundays ago, we pub
lished Oh our miscellaneous page, the story
of beautiful woman who, when she saw
her tickle husband basking in the sun
light of another grace that he apparently
yearned to wife, cat the rope that held her
skitf to the shore and let it carry her out to
sea and the Great Unknown. 1t was a
pretty fancy; but it seemed to us when we
read it, SO fanciful that it codld never be
more than pretty fancy. 1t is reserved
for Heboken nlatron lift the sentiment
of self-saeriioing devotion out of the myth
of romance into the realm of solid fact.
She had succeeded in capturing the heart
of dominy with six drsn-that is she
captured the dominy. She didn't appar-
entity capture the children. He was a
learned man She had been reared in the
peasantry without ever an expectation of
becoming the wife of minister. and the
children doubtless reminded her with un-
pleasant frequency that her humble talents
and humber attainments did not fit her
for the sphere TO which their father had
summoned her. She had sense and dis
elimination eaough to see that this was
pretty near to the facts. 1t discounted
her to know that she was unable to take
on her shoulders with grace the parish

form, or when he sat down at his study no

weight of his literary duties. With becsnl-
ing pride she made announcement to her
husband that she was no help-meet for
him, and declared her intention of leaving
him to himself He tried to reason with
her to stay, and even summoned his friends
to argue with her, but she appreciated the
situation too keenly to be moved from her
purpose. Both would be happier in sep
aration, she assured him; and with fond
kiss she babe him good-by. All attempts

Complaiut About the Erie,

Editor SUNDAY MORNING NEWS: We the under.
signed property owners most bitterly compla in OF
the gross injustice and wrong done to US by rea-
son of Monmouth street, between 10th and 18th
streets, being completely closed up and con6scat-
ed by the New York, Lake Erie L Western Rail-
road Co., causing property ON 18th street to bs
almost entirely valusless. Is not this gross
wrong and ali injustice on long suffering property
owners What right has any corporation to
close up street like this? The taxpayers on Mon
mouth street cry out against this great wrong. but
still the railroad holds full sway. although pet-
ton was sent to former Board of Alderman about
this important matter. petition has now been
sent to the present Board of dermen, and it is
most earnestly hoped that that Honorable Body
will take action at once in the premises and give
to taxpayers the right which should never have
been taken from them.

There may be room for two opinions as
to the wisdom of the acceptance, by the
Court of Caancery, of the fer of 500, 900
made by the managers of the defunct
Newark Savings Institution in settlement
of the deficiency found to exist there.
The institution failed first many years
ago, but it was revamped by tho old mana
gers. Thereafter it was run as dual con-
cern. receiver appointed by the Court of
Chancery held the assets of the old con-
Germ and wound up its affairs, while the
managers ran the new one. When the
new one went under in its turn, it was
found that its President, Dodd, who was
receiver OF the old concern, had let Fisk q
Hatch take over a million dollars of its
valuable assets and substitute Chesapeake
Railroad bonds and other speculative Sc
curities of about the same face value for
them. The CONSERVATION was great
among the depositors, for thesubstituted
securities were of mighty little vulue. 1t
is the deficiency which this substitution
created that the depositors have been de-
manding to bs mads good; and its
ame uat is not even yet positively known.
The lowest estimate fixes it at $3.50, 900; the
highest at 100000. The probability is
that it viii go higher. The managers first
offered $50, 600 to Wilkinson, the new Re-
ceiver, IN settlement; but it was declined.
Then they offered 100000. Mr.. Wilkin-
son did not feel ct liberty to act upon it,
and he referred it to the Court of Chan
Gerry. Yice-Chancellor Van Fleet on Fri.
day advised its &C ceptance. It is said in
defense Of his decision that much money
will be wasted in litigation, and many
ye,rs must intervene, before the. managers
could be brought to law for the full
amount, and so it might be as profitable to
take the 500. 900 as to strive for the $780,
900. 1t is further urged tlat tue losses of
the new institution are due to Dodd's mis-
management of the funds of the old, which
came into his possession as Receiver, and
that the real responsibility of the mana
gers is not SO great as it appears on the
face Of things. That the action of the
Vice. Chancellor in ordering the acceptance
of the 100000 is wise, seems to be indi-
Gated by the fact that no one of the 1900
depositors of the institution, who are the
sufferers by the shortage, has stepped for
ward to protest.

Jim Davis's Prohibition Police Board
should discipline policeman Sturyis. He
actually had the audacity to see liquor
seller in the act of selling liquor on Sun
day, and jailed him. 1t is presumable that
the offending son of Bacchus had drawn
his shades and closed his door; and Stur-
gis could not have seen him in the act if he
had not looked in through the ksy-hole or
peeped into the saloon through the crack
at the side of the curtain We suggest to
Jim Daviss Prohibition Police Board that
this zeal on the part of the officer was en-
tirely irregular and indecent. he should
not have looked for more than he was ex-
pected to see. If the liquor dealer pulled
down his shades, it was certainly designed
to hide what was going on behind, and the
officer resorted to an undignifed expedient
when he looked around the corner of
he curtain. By the same token, the off,
Ger who finds the shades of q saloon up,
discharges his full duty in the premises
if he just turns mis- back on his opportunity
to see inside or shuts his eyes upon the
sight. The Prohibition Sunday rum selling
trick can't be made to work satisfactorily
at all if the police are to be encouraged
in trying to see more than it is intended
they should see.

Date Fixed.
Here's some good news for the members
of the First Brig lde of the National Guard.
There has been some doubt as to whether
the brigade would have its encampment by
the sea this summer Governor Green
hesitated, it is said, abort the expense.
Last Sunday evening Gust too late to ap-
pear in the issue of this paper, it became
known to select few around the armory,
that Governor Green had finally consented
to permit the display, and that, late Satur-
day night, at his home in Elizabeth, he had
signed the order for it. The SUNDAY
MORNING NEWS makes the fact public to
the rank and file, for the first time, and
the ''boys" will be glad to read the news
The orders will be issued this week. 1t is
quite probabls that tie camp will be named
Camp Green in honor of the Governor and
Commander-in-C Chief There will be more
men to go this year, as they will get SO if
they are privates or corporals; $1O5U if
they are sergeants; SIS if they are lieuten-
ants; SIS if they are captains or adjutants;
$12 for the non-commissione staff and
first sergeants. They will stay six days,
but will not have so much fun as they had
two years ago, for the officers will enforce
rigid discipline and expect strict attend
anoe to their duties.

Perhaps there are others hereabouts who
know something about the local effect of
the Martin act besides the over wise editor
of the Eveaing Journal. An act that may
operate benedcially in some cities, though
it doesn't yet seem to have worked wonders
any where, need not necessarily be benefi
cial here. and the concurrent testimony of
the city officials is that it would only open
up long settled litigations from which Jer-

Vice. Chancellor Bird yesterday decided
a little point that may be of interest to our
friends, the reporters. 1t is natural
enough for persons involved in divorce
cases to keep their family quarrels out of
print and it is equally natural for the
newspaper men to thirst to give them to
the public, for they are always read with
interest. Some of the Advisory Masters
who have taken testimony in such cases in
this city have discouraged newspaper men
from laying it before the public !; and we
remember one instance Is which we were
threatened with contempt proceedings if
we published ths stories of witnesses in a
pending divorce case. We took the risk,
and the threatened proce edings never
came. Yesterday while the Ellis divorce
case was on in Trenton, Sam. Gray, Mrs.
Ellis's counsel, demanded that reporter
who had struggled into the court room be
eJected. Chancellor Bird said he wanted
to have no Star Chamber inquisitions in
his, and the reporter was permitted to
stay Vice-Chancellor Bird therein shows
a level head, and has dealt bad blow to
the procuring of secret divorces.
